Brake Calipers - Z1000 A2 needed

#1 PostAuthor: Tonto » Fri Nov 09, 2012 12:56 pm

Guys - I have a modded A4 fitted with Z1000 A2 forks (and AP Racing calipers) - I need a set of original A2 brake calipers as I'm ditching the AP's: its a long and painful story (they warped a good set of disks in 2000 miles) :evil: :evil: :evil:

I guess these may be as rare as rocking horse sh1t: but does anyone have a set of A2 calipers in good condition that they would be willing to sell ?

Please let me know if you have a set for sale.
Cheers Tim

Why are the discs and calipers not compatable?
Could it be the choice of pads?

Nice bike by the way :wink:

Rick,
If TONTO does not want them I'll have them off you.

Rick, I want to try and put the bike back to a more standard / original look, so really wanted a set of standard calipers; so would not need them, but thanks anyway. Looks like you've found a buyer though :-)

Steve: bit of a bugger really: they are good powerful brakes with no fade, but since fitting wire wheels about a year ago (previously had black Lester alloys) the've warped my disks. The cause may be may have been that my disk spacers were cr4p (possibly slightly out of true).
